Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) have been detected in non-target wildlife species worldwide but information on exposure Australian mammals is extremely limited. To address this, we analysed liver tissue from the five largest sized of native carnivorous and scavenging for all SGARs currently used Australia. A total 52 individual animals dasyurid were tested to ARs with 26 individuals (50 %) testing positive. Eleven (21 positive more than one AR compound, two three types AR. This study first document widespread pervasive marsupial carnivores, including those remote locations away towns. The frequency severity exposure, sometimes multiple suggest potential population-level impacts these threatened species. These findings provide further evidence that should be listed as a key threatening process under state federal legislation regulator (Australian Pesticides Veterinary Medicine Authority) restrict sale line other countries.
